EVAPORATION OF A STEADY, LAMINAR, THIN-FILM WITHOUT WAVINESS ABOVE AN INCLINED PLATE

The authors propose a two-dimensional model for film evaporation at constant surface temperature in a parallel stream of air. Additionally, from the boundary layer hypothesis we assume that the film at the same surface temperature is steady. The governing equations are solved by the finite-difference numerical method. The water-air interface is like an isothermal solid surface. The dry point variations are given as parameters.
